Trhae Mitchell is on the Sacramento Kings roster as of Wednesday, Oct. 7, moving from free agency with no prior team. The 29-year-old guard enters as a rookie, with no NBA line from last season and no contract on file yet.
The move
Trhae Mitchell is now listed on the Sacramento Kings roster after moving from free agency, where he held no prior roster spot. The move was picked up from the team's official roster on Wednesday, Oct. 7. He enters at age 29 as a rookie, with no NBA experience to date. No report preceded this transaction; none is logged in advance of the roster listing.
The money
Mitchell's contract terms are not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day. The Kings carry $191.8 million in payroll across 13 contracts for 2026-27. That puts Sacramento over the salary cap of $165.0 million but under the luxury tax line of $200.4 million. The team also sits below the first apron of $209.0 million and the second apron of $221.7 million.
The fit
Mitchell did not play in the NBA last season, so he arrives with no statistical line to project from. Sacramento's backcourt last season leaned on Zach LaVine at 31.4 minutes and 19.2 points, DeMar DeRozan at 31.2 minutes and 18.4 points, Russell Westbrook at 28.9 minutes and 15.2 points, and Dennis Schroder at 26.4 minutes and 12.8 points. The Kings now carry 20 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
